Mannequins

Today we visited the little seaside resort of Filey just up the coast from Flamborough.. The first thing we did when we got there was to step inside the town's small folk museum which is entirely run by volunteers.

There, mannequins have been used in a vain and rather amusing effort to  suggest the lives  of Filey residents of the past. It was once a fishing port with its own fleet of unique boats known as "cobles".

The thing about mannequins is that they are modelled upon perfect human  figures but the ordinary people who inhabited history were generally far from perfect. I have  noticed this funny contradiction before - mostly in other small museums. When money is tight you need to get creative.

Villain in the town jail...He could be Cro Magnon.

And finally this is a view of Filey's  lovely beach washed clean by high tides twice a day..
